Any team that plays three at the back deserves to lose:

4-4-2 is arguably the best counter.

Dunk could conceivably be left out because CH prefers the Prussian?

Set pieces have been poorer this season than last, including corners. I bet Lualua gets fouled on the edge of the box. Who will take the free kick?

In the past Buckley has had a field day at Huddersfield, his speed taking advantage.

Butterfield got one of those unstoppable goals last season for them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/29608387

Could well be. He's here and helping out with the warm up

But Calde won't be able to "warm-up" up and down the touchline during the game...

Is anyone really surprised that Dunk on bench?? If you listen to Hughtons pre match press conference he has done nothing to quell the rumours, but stated that all the talk (on here) is speculation - it is. But at no point has he said that Dunk is definitely staying. We all know he is probably going, but nothing finalised, and we can all speculate at to where, when and what is holding it up. There is no point playing him unless there is an injury to Uwe or GG, so bench is obvious. Either way, CH probably wouldn't change the defence following a good away clean sheet so there is some sense to that. We are not being lied to or mis-led; it is our hunger to know that makes it feel that way. Any deal might yet fall through, so it is just folly for the Club to say anything concrete.

What away clean sheet?

Apart from that I agree

Yes re JFC and Dunks hardly going to put his body on the line is he?
Still rather see Dunk come on at centre half vs the mobile Huddersfield attack than Calde, distracted or not.
Apologies for the "clean Sheet " gaff!! The good start to the season going to my head!!
